Walking in snowshoes burns 1.5-2 times the amount of calories compared to normal walking and it is said to be good for refreshing your body and mind, strength training and braining training. In this program, you will walk along a fresh snowy path of about 3 km in snowshoes while uncovering the tracks of various wild animals and taking in the amazing scenery. On the second day, you will ride in a sled pulled by a snowmobile and drive through the snowy forest park breathing in the refreshing mountain air. This program allows for you to get some exercise in the not so accessible winter climate.
